[narrating] In the daytime, I'm Marinette.
Just a normal girl with a normal life.
But there's something about me that no one knows yet.
'Cause I've got a secret.

[workers grunt]
[Alya] There's gotta be more.
We just need to find the seals of the guardians.
[camera shutter clicks]
-There! -Hmm?
[Marinette] So, this lady was a holder?
Of the Rabbit, obviously.
[groans] Miraculous holders are always pictured solo,
but there had to have been some love stories between some of them.
A Ladybug and Cat Noir in love.
It must have happened at some point, right?
Or maybe they just focused on the job
and kept their lovey-dovey stuff out of their superhero lives.
Like you should.
Preferably with a boy you've been in love with for a long time
who's finally interested in you.
-Does a certain Adrien ring any bells? -Oh, no. No way!
Being in love with Adrien has brought me nothing but trouble.
Never again.
Tikki, it must have happened in the past.
A Ladybug in love with the Cat Noir.
Well, yes,
but there was no evil Monarch intent on stealing their Miraculous back then.
So, things were going on between them?
Oh, I don't know much about romance.
You know, maybe it would be best if you ask her yourself.
[Marinette] Can we do that?
Yes, Marinette, with your Kwagatama.
-Oh. -[chimes]
[sighs, giggles]
Ah.
Scoop! There's a way to talk to miraculous holders of the past.
Just touch the seal with your Kwagatama and say, "Reunion."
-There's no one there. We're good to go. -Hmm.
-[chimes] -[Marinette exclaims, groans]
[alarm blaring]
[all grunting]
-Uh. -What's that?
It looks like it was hidden here hundreds of years ago.
And it's addressed to Alim Kubdel?
[Mr. Kubdel panting]
What happened here?
-A letter for you. -[alarm stops]
Hmm.
[Marinette] Mmm.
-[gasps] Finally! -Photos?
But that's impossible. Photography hadn't been invented yet.
It's news from my daughter.
-From Alix? -From Alix?
[cell phone ringing]
Oh, Mr. Kubdel got a letter from Alix.
Alix. Alix…
She's your friend, who was given a Miraculous from Ladybug, isn't she?
-The time traveler. -[Adrien] Mm-hmm.
So she found a way to communicate with her father.
How touching.
Um, Dad, Nathalie, Mr. Kubdel is inviting the whole class to meet at the museum.
I know I have Chinese class this afternoon but would it be possible for me to--
-Of course. -Of course.
Thank you so much!
"I visited Leonardo da Vinci in his studio.
He was finishing the Mona Lisa, which means I know who posed for him.
But don't even try. I won't say a word.
I promised Leo I'd keep his secret.
Oh, I also met D'Artagnan
-and the Musketeers." -[Marinette grunts]
"They're quite extraordinary.
And you know what else? Turns out, Aramis is actually a woman."
How could you let her go?
Jalil, enough already.
Alix was brainwashed by Ladybug.
She forced her on a crusade without us. And all you're doing is nothing.
Your sister wasn't forced.
She went into hiding in time
so that Monarch couldn't take over the Miraculous of the Rabbit.
Alix is helping Ladybug and Cat Noir restore peace.
How can she help them if she's not even here?
Can't you see this made zero sense?
Wake up, Dad!
I was there when Ladybug gave her the Miraculous.
Alix agreed to the whole thing. She was proud she could help.
Where are you hearing this ridiculous theory?
Everybody's talking! Listen.
[Alliance] Akuma88 said, "We trusted Ladybug too blindly,
and she only made things worse
when she let Monarch steal the Miraculous."
Antilady asks, "Who is Ladybug anyway? Why does she wear a mask?
If she has nothing to hide, she wouldn't hide anything."
Chloe B. says, "Ladybug is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous."
Since your sister's been gone,
you've been spending too much time on social media, Jalil.
Their influence on your judgment is disturbing.
Yeah, well, at least I'm trying to do something to get Alix back.
Hmm?
Jalil is having a hard time accepting his sister's absence.
I'll go talk to him.
Enjoy the museum as much as you like, kids.
Um, hey, Marinette.
Since I don't have to be home right away, how would you like to go somewhere?
-Like the movies, for example. -[grunts] Whoa!
No way!
I mean-- I mean, uh, we really can't.
We have to get back home. We have history homework.
Right, Alya?
Oh, yeah. You're right.
What do you mean? We don't have history homework.
Um, we like to give each other extra history assignments.
-[Adrien] Hmm? -Mm-mmm.
Okay. Here we go again.
Actually, I don't know if it's such a good idea
to bother Joan with that kind of thing.
She has a very hot temper, you know.
[Marinette] Don't worry.
It's gonna be okay.
Reunion.
[groans]
[gasps]
The one you're looking for is here.
Joan of Arc, known as the Scarlet Fate.
[straining]
[grunting]
Good morrow. What is your name, you clumsy young holder?
-[stuttering] Um, Marinette? -[Alya] What's the matter with you, girl?
Hearing voices or something?
They used to direct similar inquiries to me as well.
You shalt become accustomed to it.
There! There! In the armor!
Can't you see her?
Huh? No.
Only you and I can see the holders that came before you, Marinette.
Hello, Joan. Nice to see you again.
Tikki, you vile little gargoyle. Still as greedy as you used to be?
Hark, what have you gotten yourself into that requireth my assistance?
A war that needeth be ceased? A plague of dragons?
Um, nothing like that.
The thing is, just like you, Marinette has fallen in love
with the holder of the Miraculous of the Black Cat.
I beg thy pardon?
Well, that's what she says. What I think is,
she's still in love with Adrien but now that he finally loves her back,
she's afraid and is running away from her true feelings
by inventing new ones for someone who's even more inaccessible.
Then again, I don't know much about romance, as you know.
Hmm?
Come on, Tikki. I'm not running away from my feelings.
You're running like you have an army of supervillains on your tail.
I cannot believe my ears.
Forsooth, are you bothering me over a mere love story?
End this Reunion at once, foolish damsel.
Wait! Tikki said that you fell in love with Cat Noir too.
I need to know more.
Nay, I have no time to be wasted on such nonsense.
And you would do well to focus on your quest.
If it be true, you wish to be worthy of your Miraculous.
-End of Reunion. -No, please.
End of Reunion!
[Alliance] ProMonarch said, "Monarch is the good guy.
He just wants the Miraculous to make a wish,
and a lot of people say that his wish is for world peace.
Ladybug and Cat Noir are against it
because, if there's peace, nobody will need them anymore."
Come on, Monarch. Find me.
Give me the power to find my sister.
In exchange, I promise I'll get you Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.
[Monarch] A call from the heart of a brother
who wants the safe return of his sister.
And more importantly, to help me.
How can I say no?
-Kaalki. -[whimpers]
Your power is now mine.
Voyage, my Megakuma.
Emily, Nathalie…
I'm going to take back the Miraculous of Time.
And finally, I will make up for my mistakes.
[Monarch] Pharaoh.
I am Monarch.
Ladybug took advantage of your sister's trust.
She pulled the wool over her eyes and propelled her into a time warp.
Confront this lying superhero with the truth
and force her to bring your beloved sister back.
[grunts]
Maat, give me the truth!
At your service, Pharaoh.
Let the pages of the Book of Truth tell you what is true and what is false.
I'm going to give you a little present.
Wayzz, your power is now mine.
-Transfer. -[Alliance beeping]
[Monarch] I am transferring to you the essence of the Miraculous of Protection.
Thus, no one will be able to challenge the truth.
[Pharaoh] Shell-ter!
No one can destroy the book.
Which means I can't lose.
This plan is perfect.
-Huh? -[crowd gasps]
What?
Oh, no!
[both groaning]
End of Reunion.
Well, maybe one of your partners will be more chatty.
Bother not.
You may contact only the memories of those
who have carried the same Miraculous as yours.
[groans]
Huh?
[gasps]
[both gasp]
-Help! Let us out of here! -Help!
Ladybug, Cat Noir, come face the truth, if you dare.
In the name of the law, I order you to open up.
Question: What color was Henry IV's white horse?
Huh? Henry, in the fourth precinct? But Hank doesn't ride horses.
He plays pétanque.
Oh, wait, his daughter does ride a pony, I think.
"What color was Henry IV's white horse?"
Well, white.
If you rode horses, you'd know it's a trap.
Claws out!
It's just us in here. Now's the time!
Tikki, spots on! Yeah!
Huh? What are you still doing here?
Well, what do you think, poppet? You never ended the Reunion.
[grunts] Jalil! What's going on?
Open the door. Whoa.
Question: What is your son's name?
Well, uh, Jalil.
Book of Truth, is it true or false?
-[buzzer sounds] -[Book] False.
[groans]
I-- I don't understand.
I'm not Jalil anymore. I am Pharaoh!
Ladybug claims to have sent Alix into the time continuum for safety.
You'll see, Dad. As soon as she or Cat Noir doesn't have the answer,
they'll use Alix to go to the right era and bring them the answer.
And this will prove me right.
Ladybug is a selfish liar.
"The color of Henry IV's white horse?"
Well, off the top of my mind, brow--
Too late!
[whimpers]
Question: What color was Henry IV's white horse?
Gray. Most horses that look white are actually gray.
Their dark coat loses pigmentation over time.
There are some pure white horses,
but they were the result of crossbreeding techniques
that didn't exist during the time of Henry IV.
Book of Truth, is it true or false?
-[Book] True. -[groans] No!
The truth always prevails.
-[clamoring] -[person] Thank you, Cat Noir!
[Marinette grunts]
Huh? Oh, ow!
Question: Who was King of France on March 15th, 1423?
-Do you know that? -We can just look it up online.
[gasps] What have you done to your weapon?
-Got a signal? -Nothing.
That's the kind of stuff only Bunnyx could figure out.
Bunnyx, or someone who might have lived during that time.
Mayhap, I might have been a young maiden in the age.
So, who was the King of France on March 15th, 1423? Please, Joan?
Hark, 'twas simple, forsooth.
Following the Treaty of Troyes of 1420,
signed between the regent Isabeau of Bavaria, Queen of France,
and King Henry V of England,
the latter tied the nuptials with Catherine of Valois,
daughter of Charles VI, who had gone completely mad.
Alas, at which hour his father-in-law died.
The crown and the kingdom of France, should have fallen upon him,
making him the King of England and France. Except yond by twist of fate,
Charles VI and Henry V passed away almost at the same time.
Verily, Duke John of Bedford, Henry V's younger brother,
thus became Regent of France
during the minority of his nephew Henry VI,
who was only nine months old.
While at the same time, the Dauphin Charles
proclaimed himself King of France under the name of Charles VII,
and in faith, was finally crowned in 1429. Grant you mercy to me.
-But in 1431-- -We don't care about 1431!
Who was king in 1423?
Please, Joan?
Well, no one.
Ah. Thank you.
No one was yet officially recognized as King of France on March 15th, 1423.
Book of Truth, is it true or false?
-[dings] -[Book] True.
Missed again! How did they do it?
[Book] The truth always prevails.
-[Alya] Whoa! -[Marinette] Alya, get to safety.
-Catacl-- -Cat Noir! No!
Don't waste your power on that.
But M'Lady, I can't answer its question, and time's running out!
Be this the kitty you are crushing on?
Look how puny he is.
Yes, but he's sensitive and devoted.
Um, are you hearing voices or something?
Actually, I'm talking to Joan.
Um…
Thanks to this Kwagatama that Tikki made for me,
I was able to get in touch with
the Memory of one of the Ladybug holders before me.
You can't see her, but she's there.
Wow, I didn't even know that was possible.
And thanks to Joan, I was able to answer that first question.
That's M'Lady! Using that "hakuna matata"
to make you virtually unbeatable in history.
Such a brilliant idea.
Yes, that's it! That's exactly what it was! [laughs]
-Oh, well. Bravo. -Shh.
-But this won't do us any good here. -What do you mean?
Can you repeat the question?
What will the weather be like in Paris on July 14th,
200 years from now?
That's not a history question. It's a science fiction question.
A question about the future. There's no way she can answer it.
Unless she appeals to my sister.
You'll soon have the Miraculous that eludes you, Monarch.
-Only Bunnyx could answer that! -But she can't return to the present.
It's too dangerous. And we have very little time.
Lucky Charm!
And what shall you be doing with your puny little sword?
We're going to send a letter. And fast.
Dear Alix, I hope you're well. I know for a fact
that everyone who loves you is thinking of you.
Your brother misses you so much that he got akumatized, poor guy.
But don't worry, I know how to save him with your help.
In my future, you'll find this message.
Use the Burrow to see what the weather will be like in Paris on July 14th,
200 years from this day.
[thunderclap]
Write down information on this leaflet.
Easy, easy.
Finally, go back to my past and hide the leaflet
in the Egyptian gallery.
Just put it under the cat I circled in the picture.
Thanks in advance.
XOXO. Ladybug.
There will be a thunderstorm.
Book of truth, is it true or false?
-[dings] -[Book] True.
That's impossible, she can't know that!
[Book] The truth always prevails.
No, you just got lucky.
No, it was all about teamwork.
[grunts]
Charge!
[groans]
I keep forgetting.
-[grunting] -[Pharaoh] See, Dad?
Ladybug found a ruse so she wouldn't have to bring Alix back physically.
I was right. She's nothing but a power-hungry manipulator.
-She's the villain, not Monarch. -[Marinette] Cat Noir, the book!
-That's where the Megakuma must be! -Got it!
Cataclysm!
[grunting]
[grunts]
[Pharaoh] Shell-ter!
-No! -No!
[Cat Noir grunting]
Come on, Ladybug. Give me your earrings and admit that you're the villain.
Unless you want me to find out the truth about Cat Noir's identity!
It's all over for you, Ladybug!
Why are you not doing anything? Charge!
I am doing something. I'm thinking.
[gasps]
Pharaoh, you put all those people in danger
just to find out if I'm the villain. If your book really knows everything,
why don't you ask it and find out for sure?
Huh? Well, I could do that.
Cat Noir!
Come on, ask it.
Don't listen to her. She's just trying to put doubt in your mind.
I have to know. Book of Truth,
is Ladybug really the heroine she claims to be?
Did Alix really leave of her own free will to help Ladybug?
No. No!
-[dings] -[Book] True.
Monarch, you lied to me!
Take back your blasted powers!
-[grunts] -[groans]
[Marinette] No more evildoing for you, Megakuma.
Time to de-evilize!
Gotcha.
Bye-bye, little butterfly.
Miraculous Ladybug!
[crowd sighs]
I'm sorry I doubted you, Ladybug.
It wasn't Alix who got duped. It was me.
By all that social media, and Monarch.
Yes, but the fact that you rejected the Megakuma
shows that you were able to think for yourself, Jalil.
Your sister is proud of you.
How do you know that?
She left me a little message for you.
"Come on, get your head up and raise your fist, bro."
[all] Pound it!
Mmm.
[scoffs]
[Gabriel] I'm sorry.
Huh? Hmm.
You and Cat Noir are much stronger than you look.
You are smarter than we were, ever.
Well, especially you.
Mayhap you shall do better than us.
You really don't want to tell me what happened?
Hmm.
Oh.
In mine own day, the kingdom of England was protected
by the hero who wore the Miraculous of the Black Cat.
His nameth was Dark Grimalkin.
The Duke of Bedford, then regent, had ordered him to help
the English armies to subdue France.
I was then entrusted with my Miraculous of the Ladybug
to restore the balance.
And I becameth Scarlet Fate.
We fought each other a time of many, Dark Grimalkin and I.
Until we realized we were being manipulated
by the monarchs of each our own.
Greedy they were for power, and cared not for the fate of the people.
We fell in love, my sweet gib and I.
No more did we wanteth to fight.
We just wanted to love each other.
This did not please the petty kings.
We tried to be in secret, but those gents caught us.
We were over. Well, most of me.
But with one final trick, I did manage to escapeth.
Then both, we gave up our Miraculous, not to be seen again.
And then you lived happily ever after?
I hope so, Marinette. I hope so.
-Huh? -That's not the real Joan, Marinette.
It's just her memory as a holder.
She can't know what she did after she gave up her Miraculous.
[groans]
[groaning, grunts]
So, end of Reunion?
End of Reunion.
Everything okay, Marinette?
Yes. Apparently, a love story between the holder of
the Miraculous of the Black Cat and Ladybug is possible.
But does that mean I'll have to give up on my Miraculous?
-[Alya sighs] -[Tikki] Mmm.
Hmm.
